Pradeep Kumar’s silver at the Asian Para Games 2026 was notable because
- A.it was his first medal at the Games
- B.it was his second consecutive silver in the event
- C.it was won in a team event
- D.it was won in the shot put
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is that it was his second consecutive silver in the event. Pradeep Kumar finished second in the Men’s Javelin Throw F53/54 event at the Asian Para Games for the second time in a row, and on this occasion the medal came with a personal best as well. The Prime Minister said his progress over the years highlighted a commitment to improving constantly and pushing his own limits, and that consistency and excellence were shining together. Option A turns a repeat performance into a maiden medal, which contradicts the word consecutive. Option C makes an individual throwing event into a team event. Option D moves him to the shot put, where the Indian bronze of the day was won by Praveen Sharma. When two athletes win medals in the same event, the word consecutive is often the only clue that separates them in an option list.
